Life – so many expectations, so many challenges, so many joys...

NEW LIFE

I loved you before you were born
And when you came into the world, I loved you even more
I love you because I love my son
And you are his daughter
I love your mother and father: they gave you life
Love cannot be contained
It bursts with life and enters the soul –
An epiphany of grace.

Millions of babies are born every year
Every day people become parents
And this gift remains eternally special
Precious is the life of a person.

Yet so often we discard this magnificent creation
Blind to our responsibilities
Ignorant of life’s source
Allowing selfishness to rule our hearts and minds
Denying God, Creator of all life
Destroying goodness and harming ourselves
Oh, that we could see the beauty of life!
And the privilege of creation
And know the heart of our loving God.


Jesus loves us all, for we are the children of the Most High God
He is our Father; we are His sons and daughters
Claim your inheritance…
While you can
And do it with love!
